Aru
Morelia viridis
This is an insular form originating from the Aru islands
that lie in the Arafura sea off the coast of Indonesia.
Typical characteristics are a deep green color with small
white scales that can form a complete line on there back,
all pure arus have sky blue ventrals and sometimes blue
spots scattered randomly over there entire body and a blunt
tail. Clutch size has ranged from 14 to 27 eggs, all babys
that i hatched have been yellow until now. Some aru's are
sometimes misidentified as merauke animals because of the
dorsal white line, this however is not a feature by which
the two localities can be identified as both can have a
full, partial or absence of the white dorsal line.
These animals have a very calm disposition.
